Cut the wires and hook them up to the blinker wires. Thats pretty much the only way. Dont know if you want to cut or not. I wouldnt.

Why not? I hooked up my sidemarkers that way and they blink at the exact same time.

Hmm, maybe since the blinker bulb has a larger filament and may take slightly longer to light up. You may be right. I didnt look at it that way.

Do oyu have a 1st Gen TL or 2nd Gen? Reason for me asking is that you said you put the winshield washer lights on your TL and was wondering how cause the 1st Gen TL has a clean hood with no washer fluid spouts.

you should get the white washer lights...that way, you can argue that theyre part of the signal lights and therefore, legal
